These may help a little.
Re gearing alters your ratio to compensate for larger tires and not sacrificing drive-ability.

We need more info. His question is too vague.

Truth. There is a balance point with all setups where you get the best MPG. While mathmatically it would look like your mileage should be better to go with a lower ratio, your motor would be struggling to keep the vehicle in motion, thus burning more gas.

My stock neon has different gears. It made a huge difference. Car went from gutless to gutless but able to move. The 4 mpg I lost was well worth the drivability increase. If you want to re gear it I would say go for it. It makes it feel much more powerful.
The change I did was from 3.2x to 3.7x. 70 mph moved from 2600 rpm to 3400 rpm.
